Chuck Berry died from natural causes

The rock 'n' roll legend passed away at his home in Missouri on Saturday (18.03.17) at the age of 90, but there will be no post-mortem examination carried out because the 'Roll Over Beethoven' singer's personal doctor will sign his death certificate and state there were no suspicious circumstances, TMZ reports.

Following the news of Chuck's death, a host of stars took to social media to pay tribute to the iconic singer and his influence.

Sir Mick Jagger posted: ''I am so sad to hear of Chuck Berry's passing. I want to thank him for all the inspirational music he gave to us ...

''He lit up our teenage years, and blew life into our dreams of being musicians and performers ... His lyrics shone above others & threw a strange light on the American dream. Chuck you were amazing&your music is engraved inside us forever (sic)''

His Rolling Stones bandmate Ronnie Wood described the musician as his biggest inspiration.

He said: ''He was one of the best and my inspiration, a true character indeed.''
